@Kiwamu didn't want to start a new thread for it.

Could you let me know if your Airpods show as a device under Settings>your Apple ID? All my devices do, even non Apple that I linked at some stage. All except the Airpods. They now off course display/ work fine with Find My and are shown properly in Settings>Bluetooth>information.

Does anyone else have issues with the AirPods + case widget on the lock screen after a few days randomly not updating? I see the status in the battery widget on the home screen as it displays properly but just on the home screen I end up having to re-add it to the lock screen.

Please see post 94-100 on this thread. Kiwamu had success after contacting Apple (post 98), and I just "forgot" my Airpods as a device and set up as new. Hopefully either solution works for you. It would be also good if you could report this issue to Apple.

Just tried both here's to hoping 🤞

They don't; though afair they did not appear there. If you open your box, you should find a sep. entry under settings. Hopes this alleviates a fear that they might not display properly.

Did it work ?

Nah sadly not...I'm not sure what's the reason as to why it loses connection randomly..here's a few pictures to show what I mean. I end up having to go back and fix it manually every few days.

Apple today released iOS 16.3.1, a minor update for the iOS 16 operating system that first came out in September. iOS 16.3.1 comes over two weeks after the launch of iOS 16.3, an update that added Security Keys for Apple ID and support for the new HomePod.

‌iOS 16‌‌.3.1 can be downloaded on eligible iPhones and iPads over-the-air by going to Settings > General > Software Update.

According to Apple's release notes, the iOS 16.3.1 update includes multiple bug fixes, addressing issues with iCloud and Siri requests for Find My, plus it adds more Crash Detection optimizations. The iCloud settings fix may address an issue that could cause some people not to be able to toggle on automatic iCloud backups on the iPhone and the iPad, a problem that some users have been experiencing since the launch of iOS 16.3.

Crash Detection optimizations likely address ongoing issues with Crash Detection reported at ski resorts and amusement parks. At ski resorts in particular, emergency personnel have been receiving multiple accidental reports, which drain resources needed for actual emergencies. Apple has made multiple optimizations to Crash Detection to attempt to fix the problem.

16.3.1 is an absolute failure for battery life. Drains so fast there isn't time for anything to crash. Awful!

Is anyone else having trouble synching files to the phone with this new update? I'm running the latest software on the mac, ipad and iphone, and the phone refuses to accept new data, even though it shows in finder. What's more, when I go to eject it, it says it's synching- but the files never show up on the phone!

I've tried different cords with the phone, none work. I restarted the computer and the phone. The ipad will sync fine though.

Is it just me or does iOS 16.3.1 have a battery issue with my iPhone 14 Pro?
I had much better life with my iPhone 11 Pro Max.
